Warnings

This game requires a constant internet connection for all game modes.
The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.

EverQuest is a multiplayer first-person and third-person MMORPG game in the EverQuest series.

The game was originally subscription-based, but is now free-to-play.

OS X servers were shut down in 2013.[1]
